Sam knew he was in big trouble . Mercedes knew , and she was going to kill him . He needed to talk to her, and soon! Because he knew the worst thing to do was to let her sit and have time to doubt him, and doubt them.
He was lost for words, he didn't know what to say. He didn't understand how shit like this always happened to him. When ever he found someone that made him happy, something or someone came in the way .
He looked around at everyones faces after Mercedes statement. Kevin had an encouraging look on his face. Cheesing like a pre schooler . Amanda had a seductive look on her face . Mary had a big grin on her face . And the last person, the person he didn't want to hurt Mercedes . She looked broken, she looked like she was on the verge of tears .
He took to long to respond too Mercedes statement and thats all she needed to know .
"Excuse me" She said her voice cracking . And he knew she was crying . He didn't stop her , that would look wrong . He collapsed on the couch . He felt like his heart just cracked in half . Amanda was watching there interaction the whole time, and she knew something was up between the two of them, she was going to get to the bottom of it .
Sam pulled out his phone and texted her, he knew she wasn't going to respond but he wanted her to know .
Mercy, I don't know how it is that i always mess up. I'm so sorry baby! I love you more than anything! Please give me a chance to explain, I'm sorry for hurting you . You mean so much to me, I'm just sorry . - Sam
Mercedes ran upstairs wiping her tears away. Sam always found a way to hurt her, but she loved him so much . She needed someone to talk too, someone who always has her best interest at heart, she called her best friend Quinn from back home . She was so busy with Sam's bullshit, that it's been a while since she's spoke to her . She dialed the number and waited .
"She lives" Quinn said
"Quinnie" Mercedes whispered into the phone .
"Mercy-Me what's wrong? are you okay?" Quinn asked worried
"I have so much to tell you" She said wiping her tears away.
"I'm all ears baby girl" She answered back .
" Were do I start ? well Me and James broke up! he was cheating on me. I met a new guy, he's my neighbor and he's also 21 turning 22 . So fucked up! I know . He hurt me so much, but I still love him. The first time, I needed him to help me with a project that was worth a lot for my grade, and he promised he would help, he kept me waiting and when i got home, he was fucking another girl. Great right ? Right then and there I knew I couldn't trust him . At one point we talked about our feelings with each other . We finally got that out of the way! I actually thought we took a step forward. Yeah right, only to take 10 steps back . He told me he wouldn't be with another female, and when I go to see him, I find him balls deep in another woman, and that hurt you know? I thought he actually liked me, then I date someone else, but we came to a mutual agreement we're better off as friends. So I forgive him, and I give him my virginity Quinnie, the most sacred thing to me, it was great he was caring and loving . When we get back him, Kev and these two girls are hanging out. Come to find out the girl is his ex fiance, She kisses him, and he doesn't even push her away, instead he deepens the kiss. She asks him does he love her, and he doesn't even give her an answer, he doesn't even say no" She finished wiping her tears away .
"Aww, Mercy ! I'm so sorry. Now can I be honest with you?" She asked . And even though Mercedes knew Quinn would tell her the honest truth even if it hurt, that's what she needed . Quinn was always brutally honest.
"Please" Mercedes responded
"Okay Mercy I love you, you're my soul sister you know that . But he played you like a fool, not once but three times . You should have known better . He's a grown ass man that doesn't know what he wants! he acts like a child ! I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you that you need to cut ties with him. You gave yourself to him because you loved him, and not even 24 hours later he hurts you. He has a habit of hurting you, and that won't stop. He has to much attachments with other people. And he's not honest. He should of told you about Amanda from the beginning , but he didn't. Mercy I have your best interest at heart, he is not the one" Quinn finished .
"But I love him" Mercedes said barely above a whisper
"What kind of love is it when he's hurt you more than he's made you happy. Mercedes you're stronger than this. He may love you and you may love him. But being in love with someone may not always be the best choice, or all it takes, especially when they're not right for you emotionally and mentally" Quinn finished
"You're right Quinnie. It's gonna hurt, but I'm done. I need time to think, and being with him won't give me that." Mercedes finished
"Stay strong Mercy-Me . And don't be a stranger. I'm not your best friend for no reason" Quinn said genuinely
"I won't Q! thank you" Mercedes answered
"Anytime baby girl! I love you Merce, I'll call you later. Bye" Quinn finished
"Okay! Bye" Mercedes said hanging up .
Mercedes hung up the phone, she knew this would hurt . She looked at her phone and saw she had a message from Sam, making it even harder .
Mercy, I don't know how it is that i always mess up. I'm so sorry baby! I love you more than anything! Please give me a chance to explain, I'm sorry for hurting you . You mean so much to me, I'm just sorry . - Sam
Mercedes laughed unhumorously .
Of Course Sam, what's new ? She thought .
I forgive you already. That's all I've been doing for so long is forgiving you when you mess up, It's kind of sad on my part. Someone told me, that the person you love isn't always the right person for you mentally, and emotionally, and that's you. I can't be with you, you always find a way to hurt me, and it's all my heart can take. Even though it will hurt me to see you with another girl, maybe Amanda is the right one for you . You love her, so i wish you the best . bye Sam - Mercedes
Sam had already excused himself and went home. When he got home, he read the text from Mercedes . His heart broke, he started crying. The tears were non stop, someone walked into his room and wrapped their arms around him. When he finally looked up and saw it was Amanda, he didn't care. He hugged her back, he just lost the most important person to him, he didn't want to feel, he wanted to feel numb. He kissed her, with out feeling, with out emotion. He lifter her up and made her straddle him. He wipes his tears away and pulls her pants down. He doesn't even remove her bra, or wastes his time, with oral sex. He moves her panties aside and plunges into her . With pure force, over and over again. While Amanda was moaning and screaming Sam wasn't saying a word. He just plunged into her deeper and harder . Faster and Faster over and over again. Until he came inside of her . He moved Amanda off of him and fell asleep .
As he was sleeping Amanda decided to go through his phone, she read all of his messages with Mercedes and she was furious. Mercedes needed to go! she was fucking up her plans of getting back with Sam. She put her pants back on and decided to go pay Mercedes a visit . Luckily for her when she got outside, she saw Mercedes walking down the street.
"Mercedes!" She yelled .
Mercedes turned her head to see who was calling her and she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Hey? what's up?" She tried being nice .
"Cut the bullshit!" Amanda said
"Excuse me ?" Mercedes asked confused .
"I know about you and Sam! and I'm warning you to stay away from him" She finished
"There is no me and Sam" Mercedes said crossing her arms over her chest
"You damn straight! I'm back in town" She retorted
"Okay I don't have time for your shit! you're obviously crazy" Mercedes tried walking away.
"Yeah, Sam doesn't think I'm crazy! In fact about an hour ago, me and Sam restated our love for each other, by having love. I almost forgot how good he was in bed" Amanda said Mischievously
"You're. You're lying" Mercedes said
"No I'm not! I swear on everything I love" Amanda retorted
"I have to go" Mercedes said on the verge of tears
"I'm not done talking to you" Amanda said going after her grabbing her arm
"Get the fuck off my arm" Mercedes said struggling to get out of her embrace. They struggled and struggled until Amanda pushed Mercedes into the street. Mercedes turned only to be blinded by street lights, and hit with a car striking her down.
